Jibs for Telehandlers – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a telehandler Jib used for?
A telehandler jib is used to safely lift and position suspended loads that cannot be handled with standard pallet forks. By providing a secure lifting point, jibs are ideal for lifting steel, roof trusses, pipework, machinery, precast concrete and other awkward loads across construction, mining, infrastructure and industrial projects.
What types of telehandler Jibs are available?
Telehandler jibs are available in a range of configurations, including fixed jibs, adjustable jibs and swan neck jibs. Each design offers different lifting capabilities and reach, allowing operators to choose the most suitable attachment for their application, load size and working environment.
How do I choose the right telehandler Jib?
The right telehandler jib depends on your machine’s rated lifting capacity, the weight of the load and the required reach. It is important to select a jib that is compatible with your telehandler and designed for the intended application, while always operating within the machine’s load chart and the attachment’s safe working load (SWL).
